It has been almost a year since I first joined Bonnie Christine's Flourish membership and it is honestly one of the best things I have ever done for myself, my brand and my career. I have taken so many online courses over the years but something about they way Bonnie approaches her membership really resonates with me and how I learn. I would highly recommend taking a look at Flourish if you are interested in surface pattern design.
So after a year of designing and learning I have just finished my latest collection of patterns and I love them so much I just had to share.
So here is Hydra, inspired by the snake constellation, it is a colourful starry mix of pinks, yellow, purple and peachy tones with a monochrome accent. I think my absolute favourites are the two hero prints Nova and Hydra but honestly I love every print in this collection right now.
I had these two printed up my Woven Monkey to see how they looked and it has made me love them even more!
I have also completed my first and second pattern portfolio which are both up now on ISSUU if you want to take a look at all the collections I have designed so far. You can Also check out my new Portfolio page on the website to see all my latest designs.
